According to a drug market analysis performed by the National Drug Intelligence Center, the St. Louis metropolitan area, is categorized as a significant consumer market and distribution hub, largely due to its geographical location being centered at the intersection of several of the nation’s busiest highways (I-64, I-55, and I-70).

 

Individuals charged with drug offenses are oftentimes met with harsh criminal penalties, fines, and other consequences. The severity of penalties an individual can face is largely dependent upon certain facts such as the type of drugs involved; the quantity of drugs; and any aggravating or mitigating factors, including any prior criminal history or a lack thereof.

 

As such, when facing serious drug distribution and trafficking related charges, it is imperative for an individual to consider seeking an experienced and zealous attorney to fight on their behalf. Oftentimes, there are legal objections and issues that can be raised to address constitutional violations associated with the investigation and/or arrest of an individual charged with a drug related offense.
